VVA Board of Directors October 13, 2019 Call to Order Troy Lesan, Lot 576, called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. in the upper level of the clubhouse. Members in attendance were Eric Odette, Lot 220; Mark Leggett, Lot 72; Mike Booth, Lot 1259 and Flint Hibler, Lot 183. Shad Mort led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mark Leggett led in prayer. Tony Gronniger, Lot 2281 and Susan Zalenski, Lot 364 were unable to attend. Approval of Minutes Mark Leggett moved to approve the minutes of the Sept. 8, 2019, Board meeting. Eric Odette seconded; motion passed. Department of Conservation Alan Bradford, Daviess County Conservation Agent, along with Gary Miller and Jason Braunecke, also agents of the Missouri Conservation Department, came before the Board of Directors to ask for a gate card to have full access to Lake Viking. Alan has always had a good relationship with the lake. Alan Bradford had approached the Lake Manager a few weeks ago about getting a card for the gate at the Marina, and Shad Mort, Lake Manager, denied that request due to the fact the Conservation Department is not a member of the Association. Shad explained the rules that have been written about access to our lake and did not feel comfortable bypassing those rules. Even though Shad would not issue Alan a gate card, he did tell him if he needed on the lake to call him or Safety and they would get him through the gate. Mark Leggett asked how many times a year would he need access to the lake and what is his purpose for being on the water? Alan responded, probably 3-4 times in the spring and summer months to check fishing licenses. Shad asked if they have access to any other gated lakes. Their response was, there are no other gated lakes in their North Missouri territory that they are aware of. There are gated lakes in the Kansas City/St. Louis areas, but these agents do not cover those areas. Alan went on to say, if we cannot give them the card for access, then they will no longer be able to help us in any way with our fishery at Lake Viking, such as shocking procedures to determine the health and counts of our fish. Mark Leggett moved to issue one gate card to Alan Bradford, who is the local Daviess County Agent for Missouri Conservation. Eric Odette seconded. The vote was Mark Leggett – yes, Eric Odette – yes and Flint Hibler – yes. Mike Booth abstained from the vote. Motion passed. Committee Reports Handbook Committee: No report. Finance Committee: Eric Odette reported expenses are still down, but in the coming weeks we will have road work, which is probably going to be $30,000-$35,000 over budget. This was discussed at the last board meeting so everyone was aware where this was heading. At the Finance Meeting it was discovered we had too much money in one account, which put us over the allowed limit for FDIC, so we immediately moved $100,000 to another investment account. We had a CD that came due in September and it was cashed out and deposited to our checking account which created the overage. We have another CD due in November that we will probably have to cash for operating funds, but will make sure we do not create the same situation as the one in September. Strategic Planning Committee: Kenny Southwick reported the committee had their first meeting for the long range plan for Lake Viking. There were 24 people present. There will be two more sessions, one in October and November. They are planning on presenting their plans to the board in February. Activities Committee: Eric Odette reported on the latest activity of Beer and Brats. There were about 90 people that attended and $600 was raised. Gail Bush discussed the possibility of having another bus tour, but needs the board’s approval. There will be a limited number of people that can actually take the bus, approximately 35. Some of the committee members may have to follow in private vehicles if there are more people than the bus can hold. Mark Leggett moved to approve the bus tour. Eric Odette seconded. After discussion, the motion passed. Mike Booth asked about insurance for something like this. Mark Leggett said anyone going on the bus would have to sign a [Continued on Page 4]

Look familiar? Association Maintenance crew pulls more drift out of the lake.

Fake News Flash – Driftwood 4 Sale! By Troy Lesan Would you believe? Two more lake closures again in the past month due to high water. In a way we should feel fortunate. We haven’t had any of those big five or six inch rains this summer – for the first time in a while – but with the ground so saturated with water, the two and three inch rains are more than enough to close the lake. And once again, the Association Maintenance boat goes out to haul in the large and dangerous “pieces” of drift floating in the lake as a result. (I say “pieces” ... some of these “pieces” are like huge trees.) An example of a recent lake closure occurred on Sept. 28. There had been a steady rain that afternoon, and several Association members had gone into Gallatin to the annual Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness fund-raiser. Normally a street event, the Kickin’ Cancer gig had to be moved inside the Methodist Church. The event was a success by the way. Over $10,000 raised for this great cause, but on the way back to Lake Viking, deep water from a flooded ditch was running over a low spot in the road just east of the Lake Viking Church. Everyone had to detour. Wouldn’t you know it: lake closed! Then, a week later, more rain came. Normally the 1¾” might not be enough to close the lake, but with the ground already saturated, it was. Once again, the Association Maintenance crew went out & pulled more big pieces of drift out of the water. By the way, somewhere in the mix, there was hail. We were gone and missed it, and it certainly wasn’t a major hail event as in 2009 and 2011, but there have been a few damage claims. My neighbor Adam Whitney, who has a roofing company, tells me that one house may have damage while another house across the street remains unscathed. Anyway, back to my fake news headline. Driftwood 4 Sale! It’s a close-out clearance sale. Rock bottom prices! Everything marked down! Everything goes! The Association Maintenance Crew has pulled a HUGE INVENTORY of drift out of the lake this year.

Palmer/Hillman Memorial Pavilion completed, dedicated On Sept. 29, the Lake Viking Church held a special service dedicating a new outdoor pavilion built by members. The structure was named the Palmer/ Hillman Memorial Pavilion in honor of the first two pastors at the church. On hand were, left to right, Norma McCaulla, at 93 the last living charter member of Lake Viking Church, Pastor Robert Nelson, and Mary Hillman, widow of Pastor Alvin Hillman. After retiring – twice! – Pastor Hillman also served as pastor of the Gallatin Presbyterian Church until he was 90.

Lake Closure The Lake Manager will have the authority to close the lake to all watercraft traffic, if deemed dangerous conditions exist, such as, high water levels, debris or other circumstances that may present a hazard to the members or damage to property. There is a gauge on the spillway at the dam. When the water level goes above a foot the lake is shut down. The Maintenance Department then goes out to check for debris that comes in from the creeks leading into the lake. NO WATERCRAFT WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE LAKE with the exception of Maintenance and/or Safety patrol watercraft until such time the lake is deemed safe by the Lake Manager. Any unauthorized watercraft on the water when the lake is closed will be issued an infraction ticket. Notification will be made through our website and other social media utilized by the lake.

Saving tree seeds this fall, a few pointers and precautions By Tim Baker MU Regional Horticulturist In my last column, I gave a few starting hints if you decide you want to save seeds from trees this fall. This week, I have a few more pointers and one precaution. If you are storing the seeds indoors, you should make sure the seeds do not dry out. During the period of refrigeration, moisture can be maintained by placing some peat moss inside the jar or bag. The moss should be moist, but not overly wet. Check periodically to insure that the moisture level maintains a proper balance. The best temperature is around 36 degrees. Slightly higher temperatures may be acceptable, but a longer time period will be needed to satisfy dormancy requirements. When you plant the seed, it is best to plant directly where you want the plant to grow, thus avoiding transplanting. However, some people may prefer to start the plants in a nursery setting, where you may be able to give the plants a better start. An example would be the case where the soil at the final plant location might not be the best. Generally, seeds do not have to be planted deeply. A good rule is to plant the seed about twice as deep as the seed’s largest dimension. If planting in the fall, a cover of mulch to protect the seeds from winter extremes is helpful. Also, you may want to

protect the seed from foraging wildlife by placing a wire mesh or basket over the seed. Some seeds have specific needs. Acorns are an example. To avoid weevil damage, soak the acorns in water at 120 degrees for 30 minutes, to kill any weevils that may be inside. But be careful, since higher temperatures or longer times may kill the acorn as well. Other seeds may need to have their seed coat broken, so it pays to find out any specific requirements for the seed you want to plant. One final caution: if you are saving seed from a particular variety of tree or shrub, you will probably be disappointed because the offspring plant may not resemble the parent plant. This is due to the nature of genetics and the formation of the seed embryo after the flower is pollinated. This is particularly true of fruit trees. If you have a ‘Golden Delicious’ apple tree and want another one, the only way to insure this is through vegetative propagation, i.e., grafting. Trees grown from seeds in this case won’t be true to type.

How’s the fishing at LV?

David Daniel pulls in a 30 lb. flathead

Carla Sneed lands a good one

Justin McFarland 6.2 lbs? It looks bigger

VeryVery Good!

Duc Pham has one for each hand

by Troy Lesan For those who were wondering if the fishing was any good this year at Lake Viking . . . hang on. You’re about to be bombarded with proof. These pictures — some pulled from LV Group Facebook and others forwarded to me — leave little doubt that it’s been another great year for anglers at Lake Viking. Bass, crappie, stripers, hybrids, walleye, and the three varieties of catfish were all in abundant evidence again. When reports of big fish come in, names like Duc Pham and Brett Bush always crop up, but as these photos prove, there’s enough fish to go around for everyone. Two more fish photos on page 8!

waiver of liability. Building Committee: Flint Hibler reported six permits in the month of September. The Building Committee is also working on rewriting the rules of infraction against contractors and will have something for the board to review next month. In the meantime, Flint asked the board to approve the following changes: Page 17: Building Regulations (middle of the paragraph) Contractors that fail to comply with the Covenants and Restrictions as well as the building regulations in effect at the time will subject themselves to possible loss of contracting privileges and/or additional fines as determined by the Building Committee. Structures of Fines for Contractors: 1st Violation: Ticket will be issued; 2nd Violation: Loss of privileges for 1 year: 3rd Violation: Loss of Privileges within the Valkyrie Valley Subdivision permanently. Eric Odette moved to strike the 2nd and 3rd violations. Mike Booth seconded; motion passed. Fire Department: Mike Booth reported on the Fire Department chili supper. It will be on Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. Campground: Flint Hibler asked Shad Mort if the water could be left on through Nov. 2. Shad replied yes, weather permitting. Flint also mentioned a letter received from Marj Locker about the condition of the campground shower house. Most of the time someone contacts Shad with these issues and does not address them with the board, but Shad was not aware of the problems mentioned in the letter. Shad also commented we will be looking for a new cleaning person for the campgrounds and beaches. Lake Committee: Troy Lesan reported it was a good season for the Lake Committee. Most members were very good about acting on the letters they received about their property. Infraction Committee: Roger Lankford gave a report on the last two months infraction meetings. In September there were 22 tickets and fines handed down from $80 to $500. In October there were 11 tickets with fines ranging from $80 to $320. Included in these tickets were no sealed container for trash, no dumpster at construction site and no silt fence, among other infractions. Eric Odette asked if we could give new members a list of some of the most common infractions and maybe we could eliminate some of the tickets written. Dredge Committee: Shad Mort reported the Dredge Committee would be making a decision soon on an engineering company to hire. The committee should have more to report next month on the progress of the dredge operation at the south end. Human Resources: Mark Leggett wanted to report on a project he has been working on. The staff has gone over their job descriptions and Mark has sent them to Debra Hayes for review and to make changes. She will send Mark a final draft when she has them completed. Mark Leggett also wanted to comment on the overall state of the lake. He has heard people say we are not doing well, nothing is moving around here and so on. Mark asked Tiffany for some new member information last week and reported there were 27 real estate transactions in the last 30 days. Six of those transactions were houses and the overall dollar value was over $2,000,000, so our lake is very healthy. Lake Manager Report (Shad Mort) 1. Dredge: Shad reported we are finished dredging in 3 tubes cove. We will be moving docks back and moving pipe. We will have to have some work done to the main pump over the winter. 2. Roads: We have started the chip and seal process. We should be done in a week. Financials: Flint Hibler moved to accept the financial statements. Eric Odette seconded; motion passed. Guest Time 1. Wayne Wood addressed the board about selling Lot Z8, a commercial lot he has owned for many years. In 1984 Wayne asked the board to change the designation from a Building Supply to a Small Storage Facility. There is a notarized document from 1984 showing that change was approved. Wayne just wanted confirmation from this board to proceed with the sale and the new owner be able to construct these storage facilities. The pending owner has al-

ready met with the Building Committee about his plans for these units. Eric Odette moved to confirm the change of designation. Flint Hibler seconded; motion passed. 2. Rick Roberts, owner of Lot 716, bought his lot six years ago. He asked the board who is responsible for maintaining the water in front of docks at the south end. Mark Leggett commented that in our handbook there is no guidance that the board is responsible for dredging this lake. Dredging is an amenity that we have been battling for many years. The Dredge Committee dictates the plan, but there is no real obligation that we have to do it. So Rick asked if there were any plans to bring the dredge to that end of the lake. Eric Odette said we have to have a place to put the silt before we can dredge at that end. We are in the process of getting an engineering study, but they have increased the cost. We have to have the engineering study before we can move forward with a dredging plan at the south end. Shad Mort commented, before we bought the current dredge we have, we got quotes for cleaning out the south end and the quotes were $400,000 to $800,000 and that was just the dredging, not counting the storage or hauling. Shad tried to explain that there is over 9,000 acres that drain directly into Lake Viking and we can’t control that. Shad suggested Rick get on the Dredge Committee so he can see first and foremost what we are up against. Mark Leggett continued discussing the financial burden this is and that we will present a plan to the membership when we have completed the engineering study and know what we are faced with. The membership may not like the price tag of what needs to be done, but it is the reality of the situation and the members will have to decide what they want. Board Action 1. Eric Odette moved to add Vikki Walton and Leann Lee to the Activities Committee. Mark Leggett seconded; motion passed. Adjourn: Mark Leggett moved to adjourn into Executive Session to discuss personnel and board organizational matters at 8 p.m. Flint Hibler seconded; motion passed. Attendance: Robert & Vikki Walton, Lot 217; Cindy Wolfe, Lot 580; Tom Johanson, Lot 240; Kenny Southwick, Lot 381; Bret & Gail Bush, Lot 324; Roger Lankford, Lot 644/645; Peggy Lankford, Lot 2591; Mike Krehbiel, Lot 559; Wayne & Carol Wood, Lot Z8; Tony Southwick, Lot 1594; Rick Roberts, Lot 716; Daryl & Debbie Pryor, Lot 680; Don & Carolyn Leeper, Lot 22; Janet & Jeff Yuratovick, Lot 563/564; Anthony Dirks, Lot 1880; Alan Bradford, Daviess County Conservation Agent; Gary Miller, MO Department Conservation; Jason Braunecke, MO Department of Conservation; Shad Mort, Lake Manager; Sally Zerbe, Lot 2528/Office. Let the record show that these minutes are a record of the business transacted at this meeting and a sampling of the discussions. Comments and discussions are not reflected in whole or as actual quotations in the minutes, nor do they reflect all comments by members. Respectfully Submitted, Mark Leggett - Secretary Board of Directors Viking Valley Association

Never a dull moment! Compliments of the Activities Committee

Good camaraderie and FOOD at the Activity Committee’s Clubhouse Tailgate Event

by Troy Lesan I guess the easiest way to start out is to simply say that the Association Activities Committee is on a roll, and they have been for quite a while. It’s a big committee with creative and hard working members – and they just added two more members – thus the ability to put together great social events for the benefit of Association Members. The latest event was Beer and Brats on Oct. 5. The Oktoberfest themed event had great food – including brats and sauerkraut of course – and once again, beer was provided by the Levi Garrison Brewery of nearby Hamilton. (See photos) The Beer n Brats was a great time and was followed the next week by the first installment of Lake Viking Tailgating. Now that there is a big screen TV (provided by the Activity Committee) in the upstairs area of the clubhouse, why not open the place up on Sundays for Chiefs games? Additional tailgate events are forthcoming – two in November and three in December. Always plenty of things to do at Lake Viking. There’s also an Activities Committee Halloween Spooktacular on Oct 25 at the clubhouse and the Annual Fire Department Chili Cook-off on Nov. 2. Watch Lake Viking Group Facebook for details! By the way, in reference to earlier mention of Levi Garrison & Sons, the brewery has been a presence at numerous Association Activities Committee events. Owner Scott Falke invites Lake Viking Association members to visit at their location in Hamilton. There, the brewery’s entire operation is behind glass and can be viewed from the barroom which has 12 different varieties of the brewery’s beer on tap.

Consumer Alert: Scam calls claiming to be from U.S. District Court Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is issuing a consumer alert to warn Missouri citizens about a potential scam targeting elderly and vulnerable citizens. Recently, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri has reported hundreds of calls from citizens across Missouri and the country who claim to have received calls from the court’s number asking for money, indicating that the number has been spoofed by scammers. Scammers have made the number look like it is coming from “US Government” or even “US District Court” lending credibility to the callers’ claims. The caller sounds like a child, pretending to be their grandchild and is currently being held in jail and has gotten in trouble. The scammer goes on to say in order to get out of jail, they need money. This is known as a grandparent scam; it primarily targets the elderly. The Missouri Attorney General’s Office offers these tips to avoid falling victim to this scam and others: . If you get a call or email from someone claiming to know you and asking for help, check to confirm that it’s legitimate before you send any money. . Ask some questions that would be hard for a scammer to answer correctly – the name of the person’s pet, their mother’s birthday, etc. . Contact the person who they claim to be directly. If you can’t reach the person, contact someone else – a friend or relative of the person. . Don’t send money unless you are absolutely sure it’s the real person you know. “There are scammers who consistently think of new ways to take Missourians’ money – this scam is just another example. I urge Missourians and citizens across the country to follow the tips listed by my Consumer Protection Section to avoid falling victim to these scams and to report these scams to our office – we will take action wherever possible,” said Attorney General Schmitt. The Missouri Attorney General’s Office urges citizens to report these scams to the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-392-8222 or online at https:// ago.mo.gov/app/consumercomplaint.

Medicare open enrollment is here Fall is here. It may mean football and jacket weather for some but for people with Medicare, it also means Open Enrollment. Open Enrollment began Oct. 15 and ends Dec. 7. During this time, people with Medicare can change their Prescription Drug (Part D) Plan or Medicare Advantage plan. Changes will be effective Jan. 1. Although change is not always fun, it is a good idea to at least explore your options for next year. You want to make sure your current coverage is still the best place for next year. Where to start? Check your mail. Starting in October, insurance companies are required to send you an Annual Notice of Change/Evidence of Coverage form. Although it might look intimidating, it is a good idea to check it over for changes to copays and out-of-pocket costs. Also check your mailbox for your Medicare & You Handbook. They will usually be mailed in late September but if you haven’t received one, you can

call 1-800-Medicare to get a copy. The lowest monthly premium for next year is $13.20. We have not had a plan that low since 2014. Missouri has five new plans for 2020; three plans that have discontinued; and five that have changed their name. For a customized comparison on plans available to you for 2020, call Deanna between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. at 660-663-2828 at the Active Aging Resource Center in Gallatin. Enrollment events will be available at the Jamesport City Hall from 9 a.m.-12 noon on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Enrollment events are also available at the Pattonsburg Multi-Purpose Center from 9 a.m.-12 noon on Tuesday, Oct. 29, and Wednesday, Nov. 13. No matter how busy you are watching the fall colors, take a little time to check your Medicare options. It can make a huge impact in your pocketbook and your mental health.

Safe Boating practices shared by Missouri State Highway Patrol In addition to making sure your boat equipment is in compliance with state law, make sure you are familiar with laws regarding boat operation and traditional navigational rules. Remember: Missouri law requires everyone born after January 1, 1984, who operates a vessel on Missouri lakes to possess an approved boating safety identification card. In 2018, there were 173 boating accidents reported in Missouri, with 101 injuries, and 16 fatalities. When boaters understand and obey the law, and vessels are in good operating order, everyone’s experience becomes safer. A life jacket for everyone on board is a must! Children under seven years old are required to wear a personal flotation device in a boat, but you are never too old to wear a life jacket! Life jackets are now lighter, less obtrusive, and more comfortable than ever before. The new inflatable life jackets allow mobility and flexibility for activities like boating, fishing, or paddling, and are much cooler in the warmer weather. Although not required by law, children playing along the shoreline or on a dock should wear a life jacket. A drowning can occur quickly, with little or no sign the victim is struggling. Life jackets save lives, please wear yours! It is important for each boat operator to know the capabilities of their boat. Reducing your speed in unfamiliar areas and being aware of unusual water conditions respective to the size and type of boat you operate are just a couple of environmental considerations. Extended time in the sun and the constant motion of the water effects every vessel operator. It’s important to recognize the dangers of boater fatigue. Stay alert while enjoying Missouri’s lakes and rivers. Additionally, if you combine alcohol with boater fatigue your reaction time and

thought process will be much slower. Designate a sober captain if you choose to consume alcohol. Additional safe boating tips: 1) Be a defensive boat operator ... creating distance from other boats equals more reaction time. 2) Adjust your speed for the conditions ... if visibility is poor, or the water is rough, slow down! 3) Turn off the boat while passengers are entering/exiting the water. 4) If you will be out on the water after dark, check your navigation lights before you leave the dock or ramp. 5) Each boat operator is responsible for doing whatever they can to avoid a crash. Don’t expect other boats to move out of your way. 6) Be courteous with your wake. Boaters are reminded to contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol by dialing *55 on a cellular phone if they need assistance or observe another boater operating a vessel in an unsafe manner. Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!!

Missouri River rescue involves two local men By Brendan Crowley/GateHouse Missouri Reprinted with permission from the Boonville Daily News A group of friends on a fishing trip on the Missouri River ended up catching more than expected when they saved two men Sept. 21 near Cooper’s Landing. The group of rescuers included two 2003 Gallatin High School graduates, Will Jarboe and Justin Baker. “It was the first time we’d ever been there,” said Justin. “Will and I were the only Gallatin boys. Everybody else was from the Columbia area.” Some of the friends were in two fishing boats on the river setting trotlines and jig rigs for catfish. Others of the group, including Caleb Wilson, watched from their camp at the landing. Two women from Jefferson City, Gin Berry and Mindy Smith, began shouting from the northeast shore and waving their arms for help. Apparently the women had been walking along the Katy Trail when they saw two men in the water. Apparently the two men had been walking the Katy Trail and got to the trestle bridge that crosses the Little Bonne Femme Creek where it empties into the river. The two women and the two men belonged to separate parties and it is unclear how the two men wound up in the river. The two fishing boats sped toward the two women who were shouting for help. Justin Baker and Benjamin Miller were in one fishing boat. Will Jarboe, Wendell Gourley and Greg Gerlemann (the husband of Will’s sister Katie) were in another boat. “About halfway across the river, we start seeing heads in the water,” Will said. “We quickly realized this had become a rescue.” “Will was driving and sped over there,” said Justin. “Greg threw the lifeline to one of the men and he was able to stay above the water.” The second man was struggling and had gone under three times, Justin said. “The one we picked up was actually drowning,” he recalled. “He went under the water and it was a good minute before he came back up. Ben was driving the boat. I had my hands down in the water. I saw his hand in the water and was able to grab him and pull him in.” “They said it was like pulling a 250-pound dead octopus out of the water,” Wilson said. The man was breathing, but he was not in good shape. When they pulled him onto the boat, he didn’t move — just lay prostrate on the deck, Will said. “He was in pretty bad shape,” Justin said. “He was not moving much at all. Then I saw he was still breathing. I asked him if he wanted to sit up, but he didn’t say anything. I just hovered over him in the boat so he wouldn’t fall out.” Berry and Smith, the two women who had shouted for help, called for an ambulance while the anglers made the rescue. An ambulance was waiting when they got back to Cooper’s Landing. Caleb Wilson called it the quickest response he’d ever seen. The ambulance, seeing that the men were out of danger, called off the fire district’s response, Assistant Chief Gale Blomenkamp said. Other rescue boats arrived about 10 minutes later. “It wouldn’t have been a rescue then, it would’ve been an aquatic recovery,” Wilson said. The two women who shouted from the shore were credited. If it wasn’t for them, the fishers never would have known the two men were in trouble, they said. “If the two girls hadn’t seen them, it wouldn’t have been as cool of a story,” Justin said. “It’s a wonder things worked out Justin Baker and Will Jarboe with the big fish. the way they did,” Will said. “Had we not been going over to Ben and Justin, we would’ve gone up river to check lines.” The rescuers never learned the men’s names. “We haven’t heard anything from them,” said Justin. When they got back to the landing, Will made sure everyone was okay. But it was getting dark and they still had lines to check, so they peeled out and headed back upriver, he said. All-in-all, it was a successful outing for the men. Along with saving two lives, they caught a 78-pound blue catfish, Will said.

Pictured above is Patti Long’s father, Paul O’Neil, in a picture that appeared in the Dec. 17, 1959, edition of The Pentagram, an independent newspaper published by the Northern Virginia Publishing Company. O’Neil worked for the Stars and Stripes newspaper during his military service. Patti thinks that her father worked in the missile program. The caption of this picture says that Sfc. O’Neil was “not taking any chances with the hardware destined for his small missile experts” and that shortly after the photo, “a successful test launch placed the nose cone in orbit around a lamp shade.”

Stars & Stripes ...

priceless to Boston transplant Patti Long There weren’t many things that Patti Long wanted when her father died in 2006, but she knew she wanted his copies of the Stars and Stripes newspaper. They were special. They were copies dated during WWII, when he had worked for the paper. She got her wish, and now has them carefully stored in individual folders in an archive box. Her father, Sfc. Paul O’Neil, served in the Army for 27 years, and worked for the Stars and Stripes newspaper while he was stationed in Washington D.C. Patti’s father, an Irishman, met her mother while he was on active duty during WWII, in Palermo, Italy. Her mother was from Vienna, Austria, born in 1928. Patti says her mother rarely talked about her life when she was growing up, but when Patti’s son interviewed her mother for a language project during his junior year, the whole family learned her story. Patti’s mother, Hedwig Josefa Schmid, had some incredible memories of the war which she eventually shared with her family. She remembered being on the Vienna square when everyone there was required to salute Adolph Hitler. Patti’s mother also remembered the loss of friends who just “disappeared” during the war. Her father and brother, both Austrian soldiers, were captured during the war, her father by the Russians and her brother by the British. Patti’s mother passed away May 1, 2012. As a military family, Patti and her siblings traveled a lot and lived in many different places. Patti’s two oldest siblings were born in Salzberg, Austria, and Italy. She and her other three siblings were born in Virginia, but they spent considerable time in Puerto Rico where her father was last stationed. Patti is from Boston, MA. She found her way to Gallatin from Boston when she met her husband, Doug Long of Winston, and moved to Missouri to be with him. They were married Nov. 18, 2018. She now works in the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office as administrative assistant.

At Patti and Doug’s wedding, left to right, are Patti’s four sons, Eddie, Nico, Ryan and Joseph, the bride and groom, and Doug’s two sons, Kyle Long of Chillicothe and Kieth Long of Atchison, KS. Two of Patti’s sons live in Des Moines and two live in Boston. At right, Patty is pictured, far left, with her sisters, and her mother, center (in the hat).

Front Page Excerpts from Patti’s Stars and Stripes Aug. 18, 1944 Issue

Stars and Stripes is an American military newspaper that focuses and reports on matters concerning the members of the United States Armed Forces. It was founded in 1861. It operates from inside the Department of Defense, but is editorially separate from it, and its First Amendment protection is safeguarded by the United States Congress. The newspaper has its headquarters in Washington, D.C. During World War II, the newspaper was printed in dozens of editions in several operating theaters.

• Allied troops will drive in and occupy Germany and Japan even should resistance collapse short of the German border, President Roosevelt said at a press conference today. • The United States Third Army has captured Chartres and has reached Dreux on the approaches to Paris, it was announced tonight. • Nazis are fighting desperately to stem Russian advance.

Access II reveals plans for accessible fitness facility and community room, targets 2020 construction Access II Independent Living Center is currently working with a local contractor to finalize plans for a Community Wellness Center. The facility will be built on property already owned by Access II ILC, inside the Industrial Park located off Highway 6 in Gallatin. The 10,000 sq. ft. facility will be open to the public and will serve two main functions. One side of the facility will be a fully accessible fitness center with 24-hour key fob access. Community members will have the option to purchase memberships for a monthly fee and some may qualify for memberships on a sliding scale. The design of the facility and the equipment inside will allow for people with, and without disabilities, to work toward their fitness and rehabilitation goals. This will be the only public fitness center of its kind in the area where a person who uses a wheelchair or assistive device will have access to this type of equipment. “We are excited for what the future holds with this project” said Jessica Adkins, Access II Marketing and Development Director. “We know this is a big project, but we also know that the need for these services is great, and this is something our community and our consumers need to be healthy and independent.” The Wellness Center will also house a large community room with a fully accessible kitchen, bathroom and shower, tables and chairs and will be available to public and private groups, community classes, and events. Plans for the facility also include classrooms, accessible men’s and women’s locker rooms, showers, and changing areas. Additional uses for the facility include operating as a cooling and heating center during extreme temperatures, as well as a post-disas-

ter emergency shelter if the need arises. Access II will also open the facility to anyone who is needing to take a shower who does not have access to do so at home due to their disability. Future additions to the property would include an outdoor patio and seating area, accessible playground, and walking trail around the property. Funding for the center is still in the works. Access II is currently working on securing funding for the facility through grants and will be planning future community fundraising events. “We will need to raise $600,000 to make the facility a reality, “said Jessica Adkins. “We are now asking that community members, businesses, and organizations who would like to see this project happen support us in any way they can. Opportunities for sponsorships, and memorial contributions are available.” Access II staff have been consulting with city officials on possible grants and funding options for the facility including the Neigh-

Brief outage at 9-1-1 A brief outage at Daviess County Central on Oct. 20 was caused by a backup equipment failure. Notification of the outage went out by textcaster at 2:54 p.m. The text message announcing that the problem had been corrected went out at 5:17 p.m. “Even though we were down, we have procedures in place to counteract the problem,” according to Dana Carder of Daviess County Central. According to Carder, the 9-1-1 phones were never lost, because they went immediately to battery backup. Notifications were made to fire departments, MULES, AT&T, etc. The equipment failure was between the battery and the generator. Once the staff traced the failure and bypassed the problem, it was a matter of retesting and rebooting the system, which took about an hour.

Levy changes are shaded gray. Levies set by formula from the Missouri State Tax Commission, in accordance with the Hancock Amendment, which involves assets and liabilities and which limits the maximum amount that each levy can be increased each year.

Public’s help needed to reverse declining bird numbers A recent study from prominent bird researchers in the U.S. and Canada, including Cornell Lab of Ornithology, found that North America has lost nearly 3 billion birds in the last 50 years, and those declines are also occurring in Missouri. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is partnering with other conservation agencies and organizations to address population declines in the state and offer solutions. “It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact causes of these widespread bird declines because many birds are migratory and they breed here but winter out of the country,” said MDC State Ornithologist Sarah Kendrick. “But one of the threats birds are facing is loss of breeding habitat and managers of public and private land can help reverse these declines.” MISSOURI BIRD CONSERVATION PLAN Over the past year, MDC has been working with the U.S. Forest Service, regional bird conservation group Joint Ventures, Missouri River Bird Observatory, and other land-management agencies and organizations to develop the Missouri Bird Conservation Plan. The plan is a tool created to help reverse dwindling bird populations by focusing statewide conservation efforts across agencies and organizations toward shared goals. The Missouri Bird Conservation Plan outlines the state’s most threatened bird species and their level of statewide concern, their land management needs, and threats to the species and their habitats. With this information, land management agencies and organizations, and property owners can work together to enhance breeding habitats for these priority bird species. For more information on the Missouri Bird Conservation Plan, bird species at risk, and land management needs, visit short.mdc.mo.gov/ZAF. There are roughly 335 bird species that commonly occur in Missouri. Of that number, 29 are included in the Missouri Bird Conservation Plan. The list includes the eastern meadowlark, prairie warbler, northern bobwhite, eastern whip-poor-will, and red-headed woodpecker. “The recent study of bird loss did not initiate the Missouri Bird Plan,” noted Kendrick. “However, it serves as a particularly timely reminder of the threats facing North American birds. This is not just a lofty problem occurring elsewhere. Bird declines are occurring here in Missouri. Many of the birds in the Plan desperately need our help – especially grassland birds. Property owners have a unique opportunity to improve breeding habitat for all of the species in the Bird Plan.” HOW TO HELP Birds play significant roles in ecosystems by controlling pest insects, dispersing seed and pollinating plants, and scavenging carcasses. They also stimulate the economy. According to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study, wildlife watchers spent more than $940 million on equipment and travel in Missouri in 2011. PLANT NATIVES! Gardening with native plants has many benefits, perhaps the biggest being their value to native insects, birds, and other wildlife. Popular native plants and trees that attract birds include Virginia creeper, fragrant sumac, purple coneflower, spice bush, and white oak. For more information on native plants that will work on your property, visit the Missouri Prairie Foundation’s Grow Native! website at short.mdc.mo.gov/ZAX. COUNTER WINDOW STRIKES! Window collisions are another major cause of bird deaths. It’s estimated that up to 1 billion birds die each year in the United States when they hit windows or other structures. People and owners of large buildings can make windows safer by placing small stickers on the outside of windows or installing screens or lightweight netting to break

up the reflection. The American Bird Conservancy offers more bird-friendly solutions at short.mdc.mo.gov/ZAB.

BE A CITIZEN SCIENTIST!

The birding community can even enjoy birdwatching while simultaneously helping conservation efforts. Participating in citizen science efforts plays a crucial role in monitoring bird trends. “Birdwatchers in Missouri can provide critical information through projects such as the Breeding Bird Survey, Christmas Bird Count, or by submitting their bird sightings on eBird – a massive online database of bird observations worldwide,” said Kendrick.
